The pair of middleweights run back the shocking result from January on Saturday night in England

Heading into the January meeting between Liam Smith and Chris Eubank Jr., conventional wisdom stated that Smith likely couldn't hurt Eubank and would need to outpoint him for the win. It took less than four rounds for Smith to destroy that line of thinking, dropping Eubank twice and leaving him on unsteady legs as the referee jumped in to stop the fight. On Saturday, Smith will look to prove his knockout win was no fluke when the pair rematch in Manchester, England.

To hear Eubank tell it, he was caught by an illegal elbow that set the finish into motion.

"He's absolutely a dirty fighter. I said that before the fight. And yeah, he proved it on the night," Eubank said in a recent interview. "He snuck [the elbow] in during a volley and he caught me, and it definitely affected what happened. But again, I'm not making any excuses, it was my fault. I shouldn't have been there to receive that elbow. I shouldn't have given him the opportunity. I did, he took advantage of that, and I paid the price. It's the fight, you gotta do what you gotta do to win, and he did that."
